Microsoft and Dell recently partnered up to create a super-cool custom PC in celebration of Microsoft releasing Windows Vista to manufacturing earlier this month. Our own Sean Alexander had a friend on the Windows Team forward on some pictures and information regarding the high end PC. Here are the system specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 Processor
512MB NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX
4GB RAM Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM @ 667mhz
1Terabyte RAID0 SATA HDDs (2x500MB)
48x Combo + 16x DVD+/-RW Double Layer Burner
Dual TV Tuners (Analog)
Dell 30" Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor
Full 5.1 Surround Sound

This PC screams -- it has a Windows Experience Index rating of 5.2!

One of these PCs was raffled off at our Windows Vista Ship Party on campus November 10th. Sean says a few of these PC's were made with one going to Microsoft’s annual Giving Campaign where OEM's raffled the PC off with Microsoft matching the raffled amount (cost of the PC) to go to United Way. While at the Windows Vista Ship party November 10th, we also snapped some pictures of our own of one of the Custom PC's -- have a look :)
